Merit Aid for Regular Decision applicant

massmom5 · 02-03-2011, 03:15 PM

MY D was accepted a couple of weeks ago, but no mention of merit award was made in her acceptance letter. She's gotten about 10 - 12k per year from a couple of other schools and the aid was noted in her acceptance letter. Does this mean no money from URI or will it come in a separate letter?? Has anyone else who's gotten merit aid and was a regular decision applicant heard as part of their acceptance letter?
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Did you apply EA or RD?

Merit scholarships were only for early action applicants. I got $16,000, which is the most I've heard of anyone getting so far.

My daughter is starting to look at URI for their international engineering program. Aren't the centennial scholarships renewed every year? Also, does anybody know anything about this program, it looks really interesting.
